In his excellent Time magazine article, that's Mr. Brill's big question. Here's what I ask:

Why are we obsessed with health (disease) care and not prevention?

Genes load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger. We already know that if we change our lifestyle much of chronic disease will disappear - Heart disease by 80%, Type 2 Diabetes by 90%, and certain cancers by 60%. I prefer practicing prevention, not disease care. How about you?
